High School Graduation Portraits and Class Photos at Jenks Library

The Society has a large collection of high school photographs. Early group photographs have no photographer information, though individual portraits were taken by different photographers. In the 1930s and 1940s, most of the high school photographs in the collection at Jenks Library were taken by Purdy's studio in Boston. For some classes, the library has a group photograph collage with students' names. In other cases, the library holds individual portraits, most labeled.

This list is under construction. If you have corrections to the names, can help us identify individuals, or have other photos to add to the collection, please contact us.
